Tree crown delineation using detectreeRGBΒΆ

ContextΒΆ

PurposeΒΆ

Accurately delineating trees using detectron2, a library that provides state-of-the-art deep learning detection and segmentation algorithms.

Modelling approachΒΆ

An established deep learning model, Mask R-CNN was deployed from detectron2 library to delineate tree crowns accurately. A pre-trained model, named detectreeRGB, is provided to predict the location and extent of tree crowns from a top-down RGB image, captured by drone, aircraft or satellite. detectreeRGB was implemented in python 3.8 using pytorch v1.7.1 and detectron2 v0.5. Further details can be found in the repository documentation.

HighlightsΒΆ

  • detectreeRGB advances the state-of-the-art in tree identification from RGB images by delineating exactly the extent of the tree crown.

  • We demonstrate how to apply the pretrained model to a sample image fetched from a Zenodo repository.

  • Our pre-trained model was developed using aircraft images of tropical forests in Malaysia.

  • The model can be further trained using the user’s own images.

Save the RGB bands of the GeoTIFF file as a PNGΒΆ

Mask R-CNN requires images in png format. Let’s export the RGB bands to a png file.

minx = 602500
miny = 646600

R = tc_rgb[0]
G = tc_rgb[1]
B = tc_rgb[2]
    
# stack up the bands in an order appropriate for saving with cv2, then rescale to the correct 0-255 range for cv2

# you will have to change the rescaling depending on the values of your tiff!
rgb = np.dstack((R,G,B)) # BGR for cv2
rgb_rescaled = 255*rgb/65535 # scale to image
    
# save this as png, named with the origin of the specific tile - change the filepath!
filepath = config['in_png'] + '/' + 'tile_' + str(minx) + '_' + str(miny) + '.png'
cv2.imwrite(filepath, rgb_rescaled)
True

Read in and display the PNG fileΒΆ

SummaryΒΆ

We have read in a raster, chosen a tile and made predictions on it. These predictions can then be transformed to shapefiles and examined in GIS software!

  • We made the predictions on the png using a pretrained Mask R-CNN model, detectreeRGB.

  • The outputs showed the model capability to detect and delineate tree crowns from aerial imagery.

  • We then extracted our predictions, added the geospatial location back in, and exported them as shapefiles including the confidence score assigned to each prediction by the model.

  • Visualised the predictions on an interactive map!
